Saying Goodbye

Each day at twilight, it seems to be so quiet
Maybe the sun wants to leave some silence behind
A peaceful time to cherish at the end of the day
The air is also still as if the descending sun slows time
To clear the mind, no rushing , no chaos
Often no wind at all to stir things around the land
At twilight take a look, you may find more than changes in the sky
Or the color at the horizon reflecting in the clouds
You may just find this quiet stillness, not much moving
Just the sun saying goodbye, leaving for today
With an impression making silence seem loud
